Check out which QB ESPN’s Mel Kiper has going to the Giants in 1st mock draft

It is officially mock draft season, and ESPN's Mel Kiper presents an interesting scenario for the Giants in his first mock draft Thursday.

The Giants would get their choice between UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen and USC quarterback Sam Darnold and ultimately choose Rosen with the No. 2 pick on April 26 at the NFL Draft in Arlington, Texas.

The Browns would select Wyoming QB Josh Allen with the first overall pick and Darnold would go fifth to the Broncos.

Kiper writes that Rosen is "the top pure passer in this class. ... he has rare arm talent and has been much more secure with the ball than Allen or Darnold."

Rosen led the Pac-12 and set school records with his 341.5 passing yards per game and six games of throwing for 350 yards or more. He threw for 3,756 yards, 26 touchdowns and just 10 interceptions while completing 62.6% of his passes in 12 games this season.

Kiper also cautioned that there are red flags with Rosen, particularly his struggles with injuries. He missed the Cactus Bowl this year because of a concussion and underwent shoulder surgery his sophomore season.

Kiper added there is no "slam-dunk No. 1 pick," suggesting that the order between Allen, Rosen and Darnold could change by draft day but rationalized Allen as his No. 1 choice because of the 6-5 quarterback's high ceiling.

Darnold, who many have long considered to be a top two pick, slipped to fifth because of his knack of turning the ball over.
